A city employee resigned yesterday after it was found that she ran up nearly 20,000 minutes of personal calls on her work-provided cell phone. The Times reports that Shirl Mayo, an employee of the Department of Information Technology and Telecommunications and who has worked for the city for 27 years, ultimately cost the city $3,316 over 10 months. Meanwhile, the city employee ultimately responsible for squandering hundreds of millions of dollars in taxpayer money remains on the job.
Mayo's annual salary was $53,000, and she won't have to repay the money owed. Her calls average out to around an hour a day, which is nothing if she could just prove she was calling Time Warner to get them to fix the goddamn internet.
